Has anyone experienced problems with any digital film (compact flash) on the D100? I need more for weddings and I am wondering what the best buy is and manufacturer.... Many 256, a couple 512's, a GIG or 3?

I've had no problems with Lexar 256mb 12X. On the other hand, stay away from Ridata 256 20x, they don't/won't work. Oh, it looks like they do until you try to recover the images, then you find out that you can't get them off the card!

Can't go wrong with Lexar 512MB CFs. Fast and reliable! I shy away from Microdrives because of potential mechanical failures and the higher draw on batteries.

BTW - Currently the D/1/X/H/100 would not support ANY media over 2GB. This is because of the file system used (FAT16). It can not address memory sectors beyond 2GB.

Good Luck...

Hmm. Anyone else had problems with Ridata cards? I've been using my three 256mb Ridata cards extensively for the past two months with no problems. Maybe you have a faulty card? It happens with the best of manufacturers, you know.

Not just one, but two in a row?

I have both the Ridata and Viking 512mb cards. Both work fine with the D100. The Ridata is noticeably faster (mo measurements) than the Viking.

I am very happy with my 1 gig Micro drive from Newegg for $239 / free shipping. Also includes adaptor for laptop. Battery life may be shorter but I still can crank off a lot of shots. I always keep a spare battery charged and never ran out of juice yet.

if the camera is sent for tech support on this issue they will change a part or setting.

Nikon have not, AFAIK, yet recommended these cards.
